We begin with a suitably surreal tribute to Phil Austin of The Firesign Theatre who died a few days ago. This consists of Phil reading from his audiobook, “Tales Of The Old Detective And Other Big Fat Lies,” mixed with various other Firesign records and radio shows that refer to space. He can’t be missed … Continued
Continuing the unfinished Buck Rogers and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet serials from last week, surrounded by music from the 30’s, which then transitions into the 40’s as we add the World War II era serial, Hop Harrigan, Ace Of The Airways, as well as other obsessions with flight and airplanes from “The Shape Of things … Continued

The added bonus from these collectors of God is a whole bunch of classic music and sermonizing from … Continued
